'Far Cry 4' bugs? Microsoft relists game on Xbox Marketplace

Microsoft has finally listed "Far Cry 4" back in the Xbox marketplace after it was unintentionally and peculiarly taken out. Upon the company's mending, Ubisoft threads are now breathing sighs of relief after they went bursting with complaints from players from different parts of the world. 

Along with its strange removal, which Microsoft and Ubisoft are investigating at the moment, was the persistent prompt of the error code "0X87DE07D1," which inquires players about their purchase of the digital copy when they delete and reinstall the game. After the titanic tech company managed to reinstate the game in the marketplace, the issues concerning the error died down as well. 

This, in turn, brought up the concern about the playability of games after they get rubbed out from the store. 

According to Game Spot, playing the digital version of the title relies on Microsoft's online verification or automatic gating process and this may somewhat be the root cause of the setback.

In the Xbox One Support Page, the company stated, "If the game was purchased in digital form and the owner is unable or unwilling to enable sharing, the owner has to be signed in and connected to Xbox Live for that game to be played." 

Two years ago, Microsoft required players to have a stable Internet connection that will enable the authentication process. However, it was ditched after major protests from gamers. Xbox One should allow gamers to install and boot games without an Internet connection. 

It is unknown if the issue plagued "Far Cry 4" players worldwide. Cinema Blend reported that the outburst was majorly from the U.K. and Australia while Video Gamer said that several U.S. players experienced it, too. The former added that some were not pestered by the bug at all.
